Any auto parts store carries electric fuel pumps. Just add a hose to
the
inlet and outlet of the pump. Outlet to the 5 gallon cans. Inlet,
either
into the tank, or connected to the outlet of the tank. Wire the pump to
a
battery. Far enough away that the sparks do not ignite the fumes.

I emptied the 100 gallon tank in my Scout this way before trailering it to
Florida.
Hooked the pump hose up to the boat's inlet hose to the fuel/water filter.

Worked well, but very slow. Electric fuel pumps don't move many gpm.

Depends on the pump. Used to have a rotary motor driven pump. Moved lots
of liquid, and did not burn up if the pump was trying to pump thick stuff.
Spring connected to diaphram. Used them as cooler pumps on my tranny and
differential when I raced cars.
